Wherein Pino Proposes Make Sense Gun Legislation

In Minnesota DUI offenders can be mandated to carry what are referred to as “Whiskey Plates” on their cars. These license plates begin with letters reserved in Minnesota for just such a reason; W, X and Z. The idea is that any on duty officer, for any reason that should move him under the canopy of heaven, can pull over the driver of the car and subject him to a breathalyzer.

I’m just saying that maybe before we get all worked up about checking the backgrounds of people willing to submit to background checks, we should admit who commits crimes with guns and work to remove the guns from them.
